dad's 60th birthday bash

my dad is 60! he was very adamant about us not doing anything big for his birthday so, just like good obedient women, we ignored him and threw him a surprise party! it was really fun to watch him spend time with his friends and family and to hear the good things they had to say about him. everyone pitched in and the night turned out quite amazing. we also surprised my parents by celebrating their anniversary. my sister's replicated their wedding cake and made a great video with a history of their life together. it was awesome! such a nice night... beautiful people, good food and yummy treats made by my talented sister, danielle! i sure do love my dad. he may drive me crazy sometimes, but he is one of the funniest, hardworking and loving father's i know. i love him dearly and am so grateful for the man that he is. happy 60th dad! we love you!

while brylee was visiting

while the clausen's were in california for a month and a half we had a lot of fun. the boys played video games, i tortured brylee and put her hair in the cutest little pigtails i have ever laid eyes on, we went to the spaghetti factory and watched the trains fly by and we cuddled. that little girl has stolen my heart!
it was such a blast having everyone here and being able to spend so much time together as a family.

brylee sue turns two!

i cannot believe that this little girl is already 2 years old!!! since brylee came into the world our family has been so blessed. she is such a pleasant little person to be around! we all love her to pieces and have so much fun being around her. kimberly threw her an awesome mickey mouse clubhouse party. everything was so cute! the decorations, desserts and even the food. so many people came and we all had a great time. we love you brylee sue!!! happy birthday!
